Chris Hughton felt lady-luck balanced itself out in their penalty win over Millwall but called the decision not to have VAR unfair.

Hughton admitted there was a huge slice of fortune in Solly March’s injury time equalizer but there were at least three key decisions that were missed that would’ve been seen if VAR was in use.

The Brighton manager felt the decision for some matches to have the review system and some not didn’t offer a level playing field across the competition.

“Moments in the game went against us, but Solly’s bit of fortune has gone for us,” said Hughton.

“I think three decisions would’ve gone our way had VAR been in place.

“There was a penalty for a foul on (Shane) Duffy, there was a foul for their first goal, -which was well worked, and Montaya was fouled when through.

The calls for VAR across the competition come a day after Manchester City came from behind to beat Swansea 3-2 with a controversial penalty and a goal that should’ve been chalked off for off-side.

“It’s not fair some games have it and some don’t.

“If I’m a team that benefitted from it in one game, I certainly don’t think it’s fair on the teams that don’t benefit from it.”

Last-Chance

March’s late goal to tie the game at 2-2 in the 95th minute had a huge slice of fortune as goalkeeper David Martin miss-judged the flight of the free-kick as it flew into the top corner from a distance.

“In my mind I was going mad as I thought it was going to be our last chance,” said Hughton.

“I thought the chance had gone.

“Then there was the penalties, very nervy stuff, especially when Glen misses the first one.

“They score their first three, so we are just desperate for that one miss or save to get you back you in it.”
